Vuoksenmaa in the Lead; Xanthopoulos Thriving

There are several players that already doubled their stacks with around one dozen participants on the rail, and one of them is Pavlos Xanthopoulos. He just faced a raise to 800 by Markus Heikkila and three-bet to 2,500 from two seats over. Heikkila called and the flop fell .

Heikkila checked, Xanthopoulos bet 2,100 and that was the end of the hand. That moved Xanthopoulos up to around 57,000, but the Greek is trailing the current leader Jorma Vuoksenmaa with more than three times the starting stack.
